Hi guys i have been round for a few months, and thought it is time to announce my first icon.

It you ask what it is a hand on or looks like its on fire.



I'm still new to the whole icon-ing thing; so any feedback, suggestions, or criticism is more then welcome.

Much more detail. its far too generic to be approved in the icon sections at the moment. you should fix the glow as well. try to make it more exciting so it appeals better to the users. because for the time being, its not at all appealing

How can i make more appealing?

 

[Dentothor]

Fix it up. add more detail and action to the icon. dont make it so plain.

Lol, when I said you should create a new thread I didn't mean copy and paste mine.

But anyway about your icon, its a cool idea and all. But it is almost impossible to create a good icon with Paint, so try using Gimp instead. Its easier to use, and much more efficient
